Fair Wear Foundation

Since 2021 we have been a member of the Fair Wear Foundation – as the first and to date only professional football club in the world to do so.

Together with brands, trade unions and NGOs, Fair Wear works to improve working conditions in the textile industry over the long term.

Our supply chains and progress are reviewed annually. We publish the results transparently in the Brand Performance Check Report.

Fairtrade & Living Wages

We source Fairtrade-certified cotton . This supports fair prices, long-term partnerships and better prospects for cotton farmers.

Almost all skull hoodies and T-shirts are also produced to the Fairtrade Textile Standard, which promotes living wages. We consciously absorb a share of the additional costs ourselves.

Long-term Collaboration over Fast Production

We have been working with some of our production facilities for over 20 years. At the same time, we deliberately keep the number of our partners small in order to build relationships over the long term and accompany processes with transparency.

Our main production countries are India, Turkey, China and Portugal. We also work with facilities in Germany, Poland and Slovakia.
